A picture perfect post card photo. However, I see it in four quadrants. The "horizon" line of snow covered flat land across the middle of the photo horizontallly divides it into upper and lower halves, and the break in the mountains do the same thing vertically. This would be much better composition had a bit more sky been added to the photo, and had it been cropped a tad closer to the reflection of the sun touched mountain.

I think too, that the overall picture would be enhanced had it been darkened a little. it just seems too light for that colorful sunlit portion.

Nice picture overall, however. Congratulations on getting out of bed on what looks like a very cold morning and seeing such a scene as well as being this weeks chosen one.

I find that the red in the corner really gives the picture a great touch that makes it stand out. Add to that the reflection in the water that is not completely symmetrical due to the rocks in the water makes this a splendid picture. I actually think that the whites could have been brighter to further enhance it.

Overuse of color saturation has indeed brought out the reds, but it has also brought out excessive blues near the rocks in the right foreground. One is left wondering what the original scene looked like, and what the original file might have looked like as well.

Posting a resized version of the original file along with manipulation data could make for a better evaluation of the picture. I like the overall composition and effect, but the excessive saturation has given me the appearance of a photo that is more than a bit overcooked.

I don't really think there's an overuse of red leading to too much blue. In fact, I do think the image is quite balanced, and most spectacular. It is not often that such light is presented, particularly not in combination with winter landscapes.

Strong shot according to the composition,reflex and well tones!

It's a beautiful composition, and viewing it at the larger setting really brings out the detail in the foreground...the snow on the rocks and the rocks under the water. It might be just a bit oversaturated, but not enough to really detract from the overall shot. I do like the crispness throughout the scene and the feeling of winter it evokes.

Fine composition, I like reflective shots. It might just be me but the color seems a little off. It may be the monitor I'm on at the moment or just the haze of a winter sky. Still a very beautiful photo. Well done.

addendum: I've been looking at this over and over again, and reading the others' comments: the red may be a bit too strong, but altogether, with the deep tones in the front and the snow covering the trees, it almost evokes an "infrared feeling".
(and it's rare that I return to an image so often.) :)
